293358 - Firefox truncates XML nodes to 4096 chars when using aDom.nodeValue

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 194231

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Ted Williams]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

Consider the following javascript.  I can send you the complete script if desired.
 aReq = new XMLHttpRequest();
 aReq.open("GET", "xmldoc.xml", false);	// Synchronous request
 aReq.send(null);
 if (aReq.readyState == 4 )  // 4==Complete
{    aElem = document.getElementById("ConsoleOutput");
     aText = aReq.responseText;
     aElem.value = aText;
     aDom = aReq.responseXML;
     alert("Dom type:" + typeof aDom);
     aChild = aDom.firstChild;		// First node is mydoc
     aElem.value = aChild.firstChild.nodeValue;
}

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Access the web page Firefox4Kbug.htm containing the above code
2. Click on Go button to download XML document xmldoc.xml containing node w/ 4K+
chars.  The entire XML document is received. Nothing truncated. The xml doc is
<mydoc>(4K chars go here...)</mydoc>
3. Click on OK to extract text from root element.

Actual Results:  
Only the first 4K chars in the XML document are displayed.

Expected Results:  
Should receive all the characters in the node.

I can send you the javascript and a sample document.  Unfortunately, I do not
have a publically accessible web site to put this up on.
